Case
Very nice "no crownguard" case that has previously been polished and has very light wear since. The bevels are still defined and it has nice flat sides on the lugs.
The caseback is stamped: 6536/1 II. 56
Bezel/Insert
Very nice condition Rolex replacement insert that has faded to gray hue with age and has light wear from use.
Dial
Very nice gilt chapter ring dial with matching deep creamy hour markers. The lume on all the markers is completely intact. The markers glow briefly when subjected to intense light, which is correct for dials from this period. The glossy finish has aged to a matte finish. The two lines of text below the center post are difficult to discern but are legible with a loupe.
Hands
Excellent gilt hands with lume that has aged to the same hue as the markers on the dial.
Bracelet/Strap
Very nice newer C+I rivet bracelet with 12 links. The bracelet has some stretch and wear from use.
The clasp is stamped: 1-72
Accessories
This watch comes with just the watch as shown in the photos.
